Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Data are not available regarding risk associated with use in pregnant females
Pregnancy exposure registry
- There is pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes in treated females who become pregnant
- Encourage patients to enroll by calling 1-833-277-0206 or visiting http://empresspregnancyregistry.com
Animal studies
- Administration in rats during organogenesis resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development
-
Rabbits
- Administration produced abortion and increased embryofetal mortality in surviving litters at high dose (250 mg/kg/day)
- In a second study, excessive maternal toxicity at the high dose (250 mg/kg/day) resulted in early termination and lack of fetal data for that dose group
Clinical considerations
- Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy
Lactation
Data are not available regarding presence in human milk, effect on breastfed infants, or effects on milk production
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
